The light doesn't work in the bathroom
And my friends are all waiting outside
The sound of laughter rises up from the courtyard
The children cling to the skirts of the bride
And the noise from outside shakes my windows
You know this city can sometimes taste sweet
Of a perfume called "Diesel Vanilla"
On the nape of the neck of the street
Think I'll take one more walk 'round the dance floor
To make sure that there's no one I've missed
To make sure that there's nobody here who'll pretend
That tonight I really exist
So who cares what the people are thinking
As we spill down the stairs to the door
You know there are twenty-three reasons for drinking
There ain't one to be flat out on the floor
You know nobody does what they should do
No I don't think I'll ever behave
Though my clothes don't fit like they used to
And It's too dark in here for to shave
And I take one more walk 'round the dance floor
To make sure that there's no one I've missed
To make sure that there's nobody here who'll admit
That tonight I really exist
Someday I'll find myself somewhere I've never been before
And I will see you there the moment I'll open the door
We'll talk and be polite
And joke about destiny
But I know this time will be different
By the smile you smile for me
We'd both be amazed by coincidence and fame
Both be amazed just how long we had to wait
And then I'll take one more walk 'round the dance floor
To make sure that there's no one I've missed
To make sure that there's nobody here who'll pretend
That tonight I really exist
